    It depends on your setup.. are you running an external reg? IF so..take it out so you have the reg on the tank and the airline from there running directly to the gun. If you don't have an external reg, whats the output pressure on your tank set at? Also..are you short stroking, not allowing trigger to go fully backward then fully forward on each trigger pull?

        nope.. if anything it will make it worse.....

        what you are experciencing is shootdown....
        now tell us how you have the mag setup and we'll give you some ideas... ie co2 or hpa type of line(steelbraided, microline, macroline) etc....

          If you are using compressed air you shouldn't get shootdown unless you are short stroking. CO2 will cause shootdown due to freezing of the air passages.

          Also, check your bolt spring. If it is weak or worn, it may cause your mag to cough when rapid firing.

          How old is your mag?
          Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

            If you are using an RT Pro valve in a classic mag body your on/off pin might be too long...that was my problem anyway. Its only a .015 difference but it really helped when I filed it down.

              B sure you are pulling the trigger all thay way back, and letting it all the way foward, iff you don't you will get shotdown. This is your velocity will gradually decrease.
